MICD East – Tampa rescheduled for December 6-8, 2017 due to Hurricane Irma

Posted on September 7, 2017

TAMPA, FL – In an abundance of caution as Hurricane Irma approaches Florida, the 2017 eastern regional session of the Mayors’ Institute on City Design (MICD East) has been postponed to December 6-8, 2017. In addition to protecting the safety of all participants, postponing the session allows those in the hurricane’s expected path to focus on preparing their communities for the storm.

Originally scheduled for September 13-15, 2017, MICD East will be hosted by the Florida Center for Community Design and Research at the University of South Florida. Participants will be welcomed by Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn.

The Mayors’ Institute on City Design (MICD) is a leadership initiative of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with the United States Conference of Mayors. Since 1986, the Mayors’ Institute has helped transform communities through design by preparing mayors to be the chief urban designers of their cities.
